Two of Maxi-Cosi’s new infant carriers have performed well in the recently published Spring 2021 testing by ADAC.

Rating amongst the highest performers in the test were the Maxi-Cosi Tinca and Marble, which were both awarded four stars when used with their assigned base. Tinca also received four stars when used with a seat belt.

Maxi-Cosi Tinca was released in May 2020 and is available in Essential Black and Essential Graphite for the recommended retail price of £139. Maxi-Cosi Marble launched in December 2020 and is available in Essential Black and Essential Graphite at the recommended retail price of £279. 

The judges at ADAC, part of the Stiftung Warentest group, were impressed with both Tinca and Marble’s ease of use for parents. They found them easy to fit, the Tinca with a seat belt and both with the use of the allocated base. The infant carriers were both voted one of the safest in their category. The Tinca was voted the safest infant car seat in the Spring 2021 test with a super light carrying weight of only 3.2 kg. Marble was also commended with the same title boasting a near lie-flat reclined position in the car of 157⁰.

Which? rating

Both seats also gained great results in the Which? recent car seat testing. Tinca was awarded a 77% rating for both belted use and with the use of the Tinca base and Marble gained an overall score of 74%.

Marketing Manager of Maxi-Cosi in the UK and Ireland, Debbie Wakefield said: “To have received such accolades in an international testing foundation is testament to the design and in-house testing of our car seat line at Maxi-Cosi. Each of our car seats is tested above and beyond the regulated requirements before it goes to market.  These results confirm why we are a market leader in all areas of children’s travel. For these seats to be recognised by Which? secures this status. There is a lot of exciting newness coming in the next year to our already diverse line. We are excited to introduce more revolutionary products in the travel safety arena in 2021 and beyond.”
